Advice for Titan Battles
I created a post like this a while back, but didn't get much of a response. I'm hoping that since the DLC has been out for a while, more people will have knowledge on the subject.
To that effect: Does anyone have advice on which Titan I should attempt to defeat first? What gear or tames should I bring? Etc.
I should mention I am doing this on singleplayer with relatively default settings.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to go in blind and risk losing time, tames, and resources

Forest Titan (just a giga or two)
Ice Titan send giga in and you hit from range so you do not get froze, have two lots of gigas and swap them around so they are not all fronze at once
Desert Titan is easy, just attack from a fast flyer (like Griffin) or cheese it with a battle quetz

King Titan....best of luck

Just beat the Ice Titan by kiting with Managamr and buddy with Compound bow. The Body of the titan Ragdolls thru map and we dont get anything out of it.

I would, but I need to unlock the Tek Replicator from one of the Titans.
Otherwise, thanks for the advice, either gonna do the Ice Titan or the Desert Titan first, hopefully won't get absolutely wiped...

About how much damage does the Ice titan do? We're about to try with 10 gigas, probably will switch in teams of 5. I've got good saddles but I want to make sure they don't die in 2 hits.

Maybe it's something to do with S+ but I got the tekgram for the replicator from one of the OSDs and could actually make it?

The Replicator. I mean

Oh yeah, I've run into this as well. It's not S+ as far as I know, but rather a bug. It doesn't actually unlock the Tekgram, and you can't craft it in your inventory (which is the only place the engram appears).
So as far as I know, the only way to unlock the Replicator is to defeat any one of the titans. And I wholly recommend to try the Desert first. Was able to do it with one lvl 100 snowy owl with a few momentary breaks to heal up with some meat, just go in for passes along its main body and attack as you go. Keep moving and you'll avoid the lightning; don't linger around it for too long and you'll avoid most of the flock's attacks.

ah I see, so I encountered a counter-bug where I could actually make it? oy vey.

Push comes to shove you can upload your character and than download them onto the island with some rexes and fight gamma brood, that will unlock the replicator and i think tek boots. IMO the boots are handy for fighting the desert titan in case you fall from up there.... or get blasted by a geyser if you are on the ground XD.

That's strange. But who knows, maybe I'm the one with the bug, and you are supposed to be able to craft it. Suppose it doesn't matter in the long run.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind once I get around to taming the bastard.

ah well. The MEK appears to be super effective at killing the desert either way.

Just sit on the ground an unload tek rounds into it. Just jump out of the way of lightning and the thing can't touch you.
